Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
Enjoy the free Shamrock Keychain Amigurumi Pattern
Although the origin of this celebration is Irish, in an increasingly globalized world, it can be said that today it is celebrated worldwide, including Spain and of course, my land, Galicia.
Our common Celtic roots connect us historically and culturally with Ireland.
Thus, for example, the Tower of Hercules, in A Coruña, has Celtic elements, among which the statue of King Breogán stands out, who, according to Irish legends, founded Brigantia and built a Tower so high that it allowed one to see the coasts of Ireland.
Breogán is considered the mythological father of the Galician people, Galicia being poetically described as “Fogar de Breogán” (Home of Breogán) and this is even reflected in the Galician anthem.
To celebrate, I bring you a small detail that, as you know, is one of the symbols of Saint Patrick’s Day:

2. “1 sc, dec”, repeat (6).
Stuff the piece almost completely. Fasten off. Sew the hole with the yarn needle.
To crochet the other half, join, with the part you just crocheted placed on the left, in the first of the sc and work in the last a sc.
Place the marker and continue working following the same pattern.
Stuff completely. Fasten off. Sew the hole with the yarn needle.
Sew the small gap that has remained between the two halves with the yarn needle.
